Global Supply Chain Intern

June - August 2020 • Grand Prairie, TX

What I liked

I loved the culture and core values of the company as they align with mine.

What I wish was different

Since it was during the pandemic, my internship was done remotely and didn't have the chance to meet anyone at the facilities or witness how everything was done physically. I feel that being done remotely deterred me from making connections with management that could help me become a full-time worker at the company upon graduation.

The only semi-negative going into the internship was the very vague job description.

I did a purely virtual internship and I would've liked to be able to come in and see the campus or meet my team.

Ask questions and get to know the people you're working with. Network and get involved in other aspects of the company, not just the job.

What I liked

What I wish was different

Advice

Don't be afraid to ask questions. Transitioning anywhere out of college isn't easy, but every manager at Lockheed had the "open door policy", and it was incredibly easy to stop in and ask a quick question.

Engineering and technology intern

June - August 2020 • Fort Worth, TX

What I liked

I loved this internship so so much. Everything about it was amazing. My favorite aspect about this was definitely that amazing and genuinely kind team I was fortunate to get assigned to. My supervisor was so skilled in leadership and taught me so many important things about working at Lockheed. The most memorable thing he asked me was what I was looking to get from this internship, and I told him I wanted real world applications to match my electrical engineering major. He definitely delivered, and the experience was overall outstanding.

What I wish was different

My internship was completely virtual, and I wish I had the opportunity to be there in person and experience their labs. But even through this challenge I took advantage of the opportunity and made strong relationships and memorable experiences.

Advice

I would just say, through any situation or challenge you come across in any internship, take the opportunity and make the most of it. Ask so many questions and learn as much as you can. It is so important that you get that unique experience that will help you stand out. That’s the point if the internship.

College Student Tech Sr

June - August 2020 • Fort Worth, TX

What I liked

I have worked two summers at Lockheed and it has been an extremely enjoyable experience. As my first job in industry, I was pleasantly surprised that we were not expected to know everything and everyone I worked with was extremely helpful. Lockheed has wonderful, friendly employees. My managers have been extremely kind, thoughtful and other than the job experience, and new knowledge, have been one of my favorite parts about my internships. The best first in industry job I could have asked for, especially after hearing from other students about their internships.

What I wish was different

I wish COVID had not been a problem this summer. It would have been great to explore the facility more. Lockheed itself did all that it could. Only essential workers were coming in for the most part and we were required to wear masks so I felt relatively safe.

Advice

I think speaking to everyone and creating connections throughout the company is very important. Those connections can help you later on in life, not only with future employment but also with the knowledge that they've collected over the years. I would also encourage future interns to explore the area Lockheed takes them to. My first internship was in Maryland and I drove all over and it was amazing to see a new area.
